Guidelines for creating a Cash Payment Receipt:

Introduction to both parties involved:

A cash payment receipt note starts with giving details of both parties involved in the monitory transactions. The first party is the one who is making the payment and 2nd party is the receiver of the payment. This part should include their full names, addresses and contact details and if possible, name of the companies they work for.

Date of Payment:

For tracking and record keeping purposes, it’s very important to put date on the cash payment receipt. This will indicate the exact date on which the payment was made.

Unique tracking number of the receipt:

The basic purpose of a cash receipt is to keep track of payments made in the past and it can’t be done if you can’t track a particular payment to the receiver. There has to be a unique tracking number on the receipt so it’s in the permanent record and when there is need to track who made this particular payment, who authorized it and who received it against what services or products, this tracking or reference number will come handy to track all the details.

Type of Business:

This part is not very common but for taxation purposes, multinational organizations and corporations are asked to mention nature of business of each involved party. For instance, a car showroom wants to buy new computers from an IT firm so on the cash receipt, they will mention that 1st party ‘buyer’ has a car showroom and needs new computers for their office where the 2nd party ‘IT firm’ sells computers. For more of day to day purchases, this part is not mandatory to be added in the cash payment receipt.

Description of Product or Service:

This part of the cash receipt will include full details and description of the products or services against which the parties are transferring money. For instance, a business has purchased new furniture and they agreed to make the payment on delivery. This means when the furniture is delivered, they will make the payment and it will be described in the receipt that this payment is made against purchase of office furniture. The same thing goes for the services that are provided to an individual or a company.

Payment Details:

This is like the heart of the cash payment receipt because it will include all the crucial details of the payment. Starting with the exact amount that is being paid is written both in numbers and words so there is no error or typo. Next thing would be to include the method of payment i.e. check, cash or bank transaction. Further it will include the details of previous payments and balance to pay amount after making current payment but these are mostly used for businesses that regularly do business on credit. When this receipt is used for one time purchase, there is just the need of the statement that full payment is made with no balance.

Signature of both Parties:

At the end, a cash payment receipt will be considered completed and it will have legal value only if both parties involved in the transaction sign the receipt. When we talk about these cash receipts, there are usually two copies made; original stays with the person who paid and photocopy goes to the receiver of the payment. Both of these copies need to be signed by both parties.
